Hill City Prevailer

South Dakotans will likely find it necessary to tow equipment at some point. Many things can go wrong without a proper understanding of the dynamics involved in towing equipment, and any vehicle extraction brings its unique set of challenges and concerns. 

 

Ellen Duysen of the Center for Agricultural Safety notes to not count on having the same results every time you tow equipment. Past success may have been “lucky,” even though it was a risky process. Extracting stuck equipment is never routine because every situation is different, Duysen said.

5 YEARS AGO, 2017 — Ninety-three children received eye screenings at Hill City Elementary on Oct. 27. Out of the 93 children, eight were referred to go get an exam by an eye doctor. This was part of the Kidsight program. Pinky Horner, Kidsight program coordinator for western South Dakota, said if problems are caught early enough then hopefully they can be corrected. The children sat in a chair and looked at eye screeners for less than a minute. Horner said the screener is a laser, and it takes a quick picture of the eyes. The results are immediate.
